The transmission seems to be slipping while I am driving the car. Basically, at certain points (I think these are at gear shifts) the engine revs up and I get a big jerk in the car. This is very perceptible at the gear shift near a speed of 40-45 MPH.

Leaking transmission fluid, transmission slips and won't really engage at times. When I stop my car my it starts stutters and then it jerks while accelerating. My transmission pops in and out of gear. Check engine light is on. When I turn the corner my car basically stops. I have 2 codes on my vehicle p0740 the torque converter clutch solenoid valve is activated, with the gear in d4, by the transmission control module (TCM) in response to signals sent from the vehicle speed and the engine control module (ECM). Lock-up piston operation will then be controlled. When the torque converter clutch solenoid valve is activated, the torque converter lockup clutch will engage creating a 1 to 1 RPM ratio between the transmission input shaft and the rotational speed of the torque converter. Lock-up operation, however, is prohibited when a/t fluid temperature is too low. When the accelerator pedal is depressed (less than 2/8) in lock-up condition, the engine speed should not change abruptly. If there is a big jump in engine speed, there is no lock-up. Then the other is p0700 the transmission control module (TCM) monitors the malfunction of sensors and actuators relating to transmission control. When the TCM detects a malfunction with the control, a signal is send to the engine control module (ECM) to trigger the engine light or service engine soon light. The ECM stores the p0700 code and it means the TCM detected a malfunction with the transmission controls.

My honda1999 barley has 79,000 on it, im second owner. I bought it when it had only 37,000 mil. On it. The car is already having transmission problems. It jerks when driving and coming to a stop, like a pop jerky feel. My cooling system had problem in 2010 oil going into my radiator. And know I have electrical problem. The car at times would go off. 79,000 I cant believe it. You would think this my car was a ford with their older modules. Known to have engine problems after 70,000. This is crazy. I have all papers from first owner, never realized till reaching the chaos of my engine. That my car as well was a recall. I have the documents.

My wife was in drive-thru at mcdonald's when the engine died suddenly. She was able to started back up right away by turning the ignition off and on to crank the engine. Later around 1pm on the same day, while driving on hwy 101 at 65 MPH, the engine died suddenly, the 'key in ignition warning' came on that warns the driver not to forget to take the key out before leaving the vehicle. The car coasted with engine dead just a short distance and the engine started up again. The car ran fine after that until my wife got home. I googled '1999 honda accord engine shut off while driving' and found a dozen other drivers had posted about the similar problem with their honda accord. I found that the ignition switch is the cause of engine shut-off and there's honda recall on them. The car had a problem with the ignition switch in november 2006 at 135,500 miles. While driving on the freeway, smoke came out of the steering column and the car started jerking. The ignition switch was replaced at a dealer after having the car towed there.

1999 honda accord ex. Transmission. Car jerks forward, losses power, accelerates. Thousands of complaints on the internet, why no recall? There is a defect in the manufacturing yet nothing is done!! Why can a car manufacturer get away with installing defect parts which are a safety hazard and the federal safety agency does nothing about it!!

We bought our used accord about a year ago for our daughter to go to college and not to long after we realize that the transmission was starting to shift very rough especially from the lower gears to the high ones..we changed the transmission fluid and do all the regular maintenance for the vehicle.. Yet we have noticed that the problem has gotten worse.. Now the transmission not only jerks really bad shifting up but it's worse going downwards.. Sometimes now the reverse gear will not engage and we have to turn off the engine and turn it back on before it goes to reverse.. We took it to the dealer and they said that we have to replace the transmission and most probably the engine mounts.. $2500 to $3500 we call american honda and see if they will help and of course our factory warranty has run out so we are on our own.. According to some auto shops that we have talked to this the problem that these accords have... Faulty transmission.. What is honda doing? Nothing .. What are we going to do? Shouldn't we file a class action law suit against honda for not fixing this problem.

The transmission of my 99 honda accord ex v6 is behaving erratically and is creating a hazardous situation on the roads as the car suddenly jerks and speeds up or slows down as the transmission shifts erratically without any control. At times the car just locks up into 2nd or 3rd gear on the freeway. I believe this is a serious safety issue for others and for my family. After doing some research, I notice that a lot of other car owners have had or having similar experiences with this model and make of car. Honda has issued a recall on the transmissions of other accords for model year 2000 - 2003, however I understand that even for the 1999 year accord, it has the same transmission problems as have come up on the 2000-2003 model years because it is the same transmission make.
